Celta Vigo targets Giorgi Kochorashvili to strengthen its midfield
Celta Vigo, with Marco Garcés at the helm, is looking to strengthen its midfield with the signing of Giorgi Kochorashvili, a 26-year-old player from Sporting de Portugal who could leave on loan. The footballer has a contract until 2030 with the Portuguese club and a buyout clause of 80 million euros.
Why is it important for Celta Vigo?
The signing of Giorgi Kochorashvili would be a big blow for Celta Vigo, which is looking to strengthen its midfield for the next season. The player has a lot of experience in the Portuguese league and could be a great addition to the team.
What comes next?
If Celta Vigo manages to sign Giorgi Kochorashvili, it could be a big step towards achieving its goals for the next season. The team will look to strengthen its midfield and improve its position in the standings.
The 26-year-old midfielder will leave Sporting de Portugal almost certainly and in that scenario, Celta Vigo appears. As reported by A Bola, the player wants to know first what weight he will have in the Lisbon team's roster, and in case of leaving, do it through a loan. His representatives are willing to negotiate with Sporting to try to give him a way out through a loan, which could include a buyout clause to be exercised in 2027.
The aforementioned source states that Celta Vigo had him in their sights, although it is true that they did not present a concrete offer, just like Levante, also in their radar. The Portuguese club signed him for 5.5 million euros last season, but the player has not had continuity due to the high internal competition, with players like Morten Hjulmand or Hidemasa Morita being undisputed starters in Rui Borges' lineup.
Giorgi Kochorashvili has a contract until 2030 with 'the Lions', and a buyout clause of 80 million euros. However, his current market value, with his little protagonism in the team, could offer a departure for a much lower price.
Celta Vigo, with Marco Garcés at the helm, is facing a transfer market with very marked objectives. After closing the renewal of Marcos Alonso, the sports management still has many tasks to complete, both in the incorporation of new footballers and in the departure of those who do not count for Claudio Giráldez. Among those who are on the ramp of departure, Hugo Sotelo sounds, while in the arrivals, one of those who has been around the celestial orbit is Giorgi Kochorashvili, Sporting de Portugal player.
